The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office in Florida is currently conducting an investigation following the death of an inmate under peculiar circumstances. In the early hours of Thursday morning, law enforcement responded to a residence on Blackbird Avenue in Weeki Wachee after receiving reports of an unidentified man aggressively knocking on the front door. The individual was heard shouting about needing a drink and attempting to gain entry into the house. Deputies discovered the man, identified as Raymond Troy, inside the homeowner’s vehicle. A search of Troy led to the discovery of a silver Rosary that belonged to the homeowner. Troy exhibited signs of altered mental status, potentially due to drug use, prompting deputies to request medical evaluation. Despite claiming to be thirsty and looking for water, Troy did not provide an explanation for entering the victim’s vehicle or taking the Rosary. He was subsequently arrested for burglary and transported to the Hernando County Detention Center. It was later discovered that Troy was already on a surety bond for previous charges. Upon arrival at the detention center, Troy was placed in a holding cell, where he was observed drinking water. However, shortly after lying down on the cell floor, he ceased movement. Staff immediately attended to him and initiated life-saving measures, including administering Narcan, performing CPR, and using an AED. Hernando County Fire Rescue arrived and transported Troy to Bravera Health Brooksville, but he was pronounced dead at 5:17 a.m. A preliminary investigation suggests that Troy experienced a medical emergency, potentially related to narcotics use. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. The department does not believe heat played a role in the incident, as the weather was relatively cool at the time. The investigation remains ongoing, and further details will be revealed following the autopsy..
